The Rebellion of Terminus
The Rebellion of Terminus is an AntiClan, believing in their malicious and cruel ways, often encouraging captures and tortures to show in their "Torture Shows". They heavily dislike most ProClans and call themselves allies - or, at least neutral - to other Anticlans. They take shelter in a carnival by the beach.
H I S T O R Y
Long ago, Breeze the loner found a gorgeous territory! He invited his friends and family to live with him on that turf. He later became Breezestar, leader of BreezeClan. The cats lived and hunted on that territory. In the distant future, plague hit the territory, with the current leader being Venomstar. The medicine cat, Lilypool, and her apprentice, Rainpaw, worked hard, but could not stop the disease. It killed off most of the cats, including Lilypool. Venomstar, and his deputy, Ravenwing, decided to seek out a new territory. They took all of the remaining cats and set off.
With them, was Rapidswipe, Ashpelt, Spiderheart, Sagestripe, Firegaze, and a few others. The clan soon found a new place, paradise! They worked hard to rebuild the Clan, as well as take a few loners in. Later, Ravenstar died in a tornado, and Lumikeal took over with a band of foxes, but later stepped down to the rank of Translator after making a treaty with the cats who wanted back their Clan and rights. Rapidswipe and Ashpelt stepped up to become the new leaders. It was when Ashstar went missing that trouble started to brew. Fallenleaves, the deputy, took over, converting their religion to Nightclan. Most accepted the new BreezeClan, but there were some who were in resistance.
Recently the clan became more open with beliefs, allowing cats to worship StarClan, NightClan, or any religion they cared for. Fallennight went missing and Mintysoul took over the leadership, gaining her nine lives but not changing her name. however, when Fallennight returned after a spiritual journey, he changed his name to Fallenstar and Mintysoul changed her name to Mintynight, to honor both ancestors. when Fallenstar died and Mintynight when missing, Littlelion and Carakai took over as leaders. After a few moons, Littlestar stepped down due to stress leaving Carakai as sole leader, only to have her step down a few months later. Cierva and Chasingpavements, the former deputies, were left in charge of BreezeClan and introduced a new 'mafia' idea. The clan now deals with smuggling, growing drugs/catnip, and dealing them to other clans and 'associates'.
Chasingpavements changed his name to Lightningbottle after a few name changes, and changed BreezeClan in ways that probably wouldn't be forgotten. He changed their name to the Tribe Of Arctic Breezes, also changing his name in minor ways. His new name was Lightning In A Bottle, and changed the ranks, also banning the growing of drugs/catnip. The rank changes were based off of 'bands', little groups that are controlled by one each, but is just controlled by the Watcher himself/herself.
Soon Lightningbottle got into some trouble with zookeepers and was taken away to a zoo far off, and his watcher-in-training at the time, Ayato, stepped up to watcher in his place. After some debate, he changed the name of the Tribe back to BreezeClan and reverted back to their mafia ways. Not long after doing so, Ayato moved the clan to a carnival, and changed their name to the Rebellion of Terminus. A little while later, though, Ayato had gone missing and completely disappeared, leaving his deputy Vandeadcarnival in charge of the group.
After about a year of leading the Rebellion, Vandeadcarnival, unable to bring himself to drink blood, passed away from his thirst. While he was still around, the group moved to an abandoned city. Brandy Vocatus was promoted in his stead, but after a while, became inactive and Sayaka Miki took her place.
An'ei was promoted to Underboss then, and was asked to serve as temporary leader in Sayaka's absence. However, no one expected for Sayaka's temporary absence to become a much more permanent one--death. so An'ei stepped up to lead, not at all ready to take on the new responsibilities but willing to give it all she had.
As the mafia part of the Rebellion had just about disappeared entirely, An'ei (now possessed by a demon called Naraku) brought in something new. The group would now focus on gathering and trading information, and the payment generally would be a standing offer to aid the rebellion in whatever they required (offering food and a place to stay during natural disasters, or help in battle, for example). However, when Evergreen was re-established as Boss, she steered the group back towards their mafia ways. They now focus equally on gathering information and being a mafia-themed group. Sooner or later, though, Evergreen had completely disappeared from the group, once again leaving the reincarnated Vandeadcarnival as leader.
Evergreen returned, took up the reins once more, only to disappear for a second time, leaving Malcolm in charge. Malcolm turned the clan in a whole new direction by introducing a Viking-esque theme before he stepped down shortly thereafter. Malcolm soon stepped down after (on March 15, 2017 to be exact), he promoted Bill Cipher and Steampunk in his place. They brought back the old carnival-themed ranking and traditions back to the Rebellion.
On May 16, 2017, Bill demoted Steampunk and announced that all Shows will include neutrals as well as allies (Torture Shows excluded except in special circumstances).
TERRITORY
The Rebellion of Terminus resides in an abandoned carnival, which is shown right here. There is practically everything at the carnival that there is at a regular carnival, with the main attraction being the giant Ferris wheel. Other than that, since it is abandoned and quite old, some of the rides are unsafe, but they work nonetheless. During events, the rebellion members decorate it to make it look better, though.
In back of the carnival, there is a path leading out to a long beach, which looks like this. It's used for just about anything. Relaxing, throwing parties, sleeping - whatever anyone can think of. Overlooking the ocean, there is a growing area for the catnip and many other types of plants. It is a small grassy place that looks like this. So, anytime someone would need to get herbs or drugs, they would go there.
Located somewhere on the beach, there is a hatch, that looks like this. It leads to an underground bunker. It is pretty big, and can be used for either a safe escape from something or, like the beach, relaxing. The layout is right here. There are a few bedrooms to the bunker, with a long hallway. The bedrooms are also quite luxurious, as they look like this, much like the master suite. Which is of course, solely for the ringmaster(s).
Along with all of that, the bunker also has a dining and living room area, right here, and a theater. Of course, that is simply used for entertainment.

TRADITIONS
SHOWS
Torture Show
Whenever an enemy is captured, it is considered tradition for there to be a "Torture Show", in which all Rebellion members (and allies) are invited to watch a (common) enemy be beaten up by whomever is holding the Show. The Ringmaster(s) announce and introduce the Show as so (or at least similar to):
Ringmaster: Welcome one and all to The Rebellion of Terminus's Torture Show! Today [name here], [rank] of the Rebellion, has captured [name here], [rank] of [enemy clan]! Enjoy the Show!
Execution Show
Whenever someone from the Audience (a Rebellioner) has done a crime to be exiled for, they will be put in an "Execution Show", in which all Rebellioners and allies are invited to watch the offender be attacked before being kicked out of the Rebellion. This is an optional trial, in which the roleplayer gets to choose if their character is allowed to be attacked before getting exiled. If the roleplayer doesn't wish for their character to be in a Show, the exile will just be a simple announcement. The Ringmaster(s) will announce and introduce the Show as so (or at least similar to):
Ringmaster: Welcome one and all to The Rebellion of Terminus's Execution Show! Today [offender's name], [rank] of the Rebellion, has been committed [crimes here] and will be sentenced to Exile! Enjoy the show!
*Suggested by @yes.

Freak Show
This show is for anyone in the Clan whom is considered a "Freakshow". Freakshows can talk about themselves, how it's like living with extra eyes, extra mouths, or being a hybrid (among other things). Any Freakshow is free to ask the Ringmaster(s) if they can hold a Freak Show, and the Ringmaster will host one for them.

(Have an idea for a Show? Feel free to PM one of the leaders or ask ICly to introduce one!)
BRANDING
For each capture (regardless if the captured is put in the Torture Show or not), it is a tradition to brand the character you captured (with permission).
SPYING:
While the Rebellion doesn't entirely practice spying, they may spy to try and get a good capture for the Torture Shows. Your character just has to talk to the current Ringmaster(s) about going on a spying mission, and based on how much they do so, they can be considered for the Escape Artist title or focus in spying for the Stage Crew rank!
ALIASES:
For those interested in the spying aspect of the Rebellion, they're free to create an Alias if they wish.
